(6) Check the valve guide protrusion.
Valve guide protrusion: L
17.5—18.0 mm (0.689—0.709 in)

(7) Ream the inside of valve guide with ST. Gently
rotate the reamer clockwise while pressing it lightly into
valve guide, and return it also rotating clockwise. After
reaming, clean valve guide to remove chips.
ST 499767400 VALVE GUIDE REAMER
CAUTION:
Apply engine oil to the reamer when reaming.
If the inner surface of the valve guide is torn, the
edge of the reamer should be slightly ground with an
oil stone.
If the inner surface of the valve guide becomes lus-
trous and the reamer does not chips, use a new reamer
or remedy the reamer.
(8) Recheck the contact condition between valve and
valve seat after replacing valve guide.

6. INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVE OIL SEAL
Replace oil seal with new one, if lip is damaged or spring
out of place, or when the surfaces of intake valve and valve
seat are reconditioned or intake valve guide is replaced.
1) Place cylinder head on ST1.
2) Press-fit oil seal to the specified dimension indicated in
the Figure by using ST2.

CAUTION:
Apply engine oil to oil seal before press-fitting.
When press-fitting oil seal, do not use hammer or
strike in.
Differentiate between intake valve oil seal and
exhaust valve oil seal by noting their difference in
color.
